KAXE Music Team highlights some of their favorite recent releases in the latest Spin that Ish.

The KAXE Music Team talks their favorite releases from February 2026 featuring music from Lala Lala, Big Richard, Altın Gün, Flora Hibberd and Gogol Bordello.

This month’s Spin That Ish features important journalism like ranking coworkers by height, debating the ethics of hand claps, and determining whether growing a beard automatically enrolls you in the Beardo Community Radio DJ Association (definitely real).

Oh! And music! So much music. Listen while we discuss albums that hit for us from artists like Altın Gün, Big Richard and the magic sauce of Gogol Bordello.

And we check out songs from Friko, who questions it being six or seven degrees of Kevin Bacon (and apparently Kari is also confused), Malachy talks therapy with Ratboys, Dan gets down with his boy Brother Wallace, all of the vibes from Sotomayor, Lala Lala brings a simple and spacy energy (while Malachy struggles saying her name), and a new artist speaks to us all, Flora Hibberd from an upcoming deluxe edition of her debut album.
